Motorcycle Adventures
In 2015 on our annual return to the US, I Robert, decided to get myself a motorcycle license (my first ever experiences with motos) and a year later (again on our annual return to the US) I bought my first motorcycle a 2011 BMW1200 GS.

The journey covered 15,000 km and last 2 months. The route was clockwise around the continent from Sydney and as much as possible avoided the coastal regions of the country, as to the extent possible I wanted this to be an outback expedition.

A tour of Doha (Doha, Qatar)
Journal entry for Thursday 7th May, 2026 (day 78, miles 0)We are now on our way home to Sydney. Today in Doha Qatar is a stopover for a days rest for me and a city tour for the ever irrepressable Nina. Over the past few days we have trained from Freiburg to Frankfurt for a night in an airport hotel and yesterday we caught a morning flight from Frankfurt to Doha. Not surprisingly, given the war in the gulf, the flight was very lightly populated and therefore a bit more comfortable than usual.

Journal entry for Friday 24th Apr, 2026 (day 65, miles 0)
Disembarkation was a slow affair. It seems that Europe has a new immigration computer system that will record biometric info about all people entering Europe in order to accurately enforce Shengen immigration rules. We got our first taste of this system today and while it might be comprehensive it is also slow. It took us about an hour to get through customs and immigration in Lisbon.
